Halo 3 won't outsell Wii Sports

 For all the talk there is about Halo 3 boosting the Xbox 360's sales and finally smoking the competition, they forget about this. Going into the Xbox 360's second year, Halo 3 has virtually no chance of outselling a Wii launch title, just as GeOW had no chance. The game has an 1:1 attach rate in the U.S., where the Wii is selling even better than the PS2 did in its early days, it has close to 1:1 attach in Japan and almost as much in other regions. It's already doing much more for the Wii than any other "system seller" might have done in the past. It's opened up a whole new demographic to enter the market. Halo 3 has no chance to compete against that. Soon developper support will switch to the Wii, as Namco already did. From the moment Hideo Kojima reveal his unnamed Wii project, the domino effect will start and the Wii will win the console war.TNT_Slug

Let me guess.  Sheepboy, right?

The GC 1.5 will win because it's cheap and non-gamers are fools.Gamer46

Wow must be embarrasing for you cows and lemmings. The craptacular Gc 1.5 is actually outselling your precious 360 and ps3. And the even more craptular gba is outselling the almighty ps3!

GBA isn't crap if you like handheld gaming, and it's not embarrasing as much as it is disappointing. I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't get enjoyment out of watching one of my favorite hobbies getting ruined by people who had never picked up a controller in their lives before 2006.

Nope, but I did start playing when I was 5 so even if I did like some crappy games I didn't have a disposable income, I couldn't run out and buy trash and besides, gaming was a niche market when I got in to it.

Look at the Wii's best selling games then tell me it's not bad for the industry. Stuff like Wii Play and WarioWare is pure garbage yet these will be the kind of games we see more of in the future, while RPGs, action games, etc become a thing of the past.

Mixed in with zelda and paper mario. Yeah I'm just gonna ignore the so called hardcore games. And warioware is awesome! although it didn't deserve a nine. There will always be games for people like you. Can't believe your worrying about so called hardcore games becoming extinct when wii hasn't even sold 10million

lol, I'm pretty sure if Halo 3 was packaged with the x360 for the same price as the 360 it would outsell wiisports by miles.haris12121212

Lol thats an rtardish thing to say. Wii sports reaches out to alot more people like casuals, non gamers, hardcore gamers. where as halo only reaches out to people who like good shooters and maybe casuals.

Couldn't Nintendo of just added on the Wiimote to the Gamecube and save kids money?

1) The Xbox simply selling was considered a success for MS, it was impressive the Xbox was even able to outsell the GC.

2) Losses don't mean anything in the case of the Xbox. MS was breaking into a market where even major players (like Sega) managed to die off, the Xbox was never supposed to make money.

3) The xbox wasn't discontinued, it was replaced by the 360. By that logic why did Nintendo discontinue the GC?

4) I'm not going to explain why Morrowind being watered down was a good thing, go google daggerfall. But I will say this, Daggerfall in terms of area is twice the size of the UK. Plus if Oblivion is such a bad game, why are all 3 versions in the top 10 highest rated RPGs of all time?

 So if Halo 1 being a lauch title didn't prevent the Xbox from doing terribly compared to the PS2, what makes you think Halo 3 would be so different?

lol no. What I'm trying to say is that in terms of sales wii sports reaches out to more people than halo 3 because its easier to get into. A baby could play wii sports but he would suck at it. Same with halo 3

 As to #4: Morrowind had many features removed or simplified when compared to what Daggerfall had. Condensing the map size into a small, more dynamic area was a mandatory interface upgrade but it doesn't remove the fact that it was watered down, nor does it turn this into a good thing. And what do I care about Oblivion's awards? It's so clear to me that a game where you can get through every battle by mashing only one butting is retarded, people should be able to judge this themselves without game sites telling them what to think. :roll:

Wii is fun.......Halo 3 is fun.....360 is fun......play what you want....we can all be friends!!!coltonnaslund
